Real are big favorites now & Hummels is a huge loss. Boateng has poor heading abilities while Hummels is one of the best aerial CB's & would have been my candidate to mark Ramos with Martinez marking Ronaldo. I think now Martinez will mark Ramos (which is okay as Martinez is pretty good aerially too) but Boateng vs Ronaldo in aerial duels is going to be a freak show. Lewa will probably mark Benzema in set-pieces (I am mainly worried about headers with Real).

I would have taken Boateng vs Barca for his speed but Hummels' heading ability was to be critical vs Real ! Maybe if Ramos gets a yellow & Casemiro-Nacho is the pairing for the 2nd leg would Bayern have an advantage.

I think when it comes to headers there are quite a few RM players to fear on set pieces. There's Ronaldo, Bale, Casemiro and Ramos who are extremely good headers. I would've liked Pepe in there to add another one to that list. And in the 2nd half you have Morata too who is an extremely good header.

Though fear not, Bayern are guaranteed to score. Or will ZZ surprise us all and take out an attacker for a midfielder who am I kidding right

Rummenige: "I know Florentino Perez to be a serious and trustworthy person. A handshake with him is like a signed contract. I have never had any negative experiences with him. We feel great respect towards one another, appreciate one another and are on first name terms."

Lewa is 50/50, he is desperate to play & may take pain killers, Robben said in the press conference that they will do everything to get Lewa to play. Otherwise Muller will also be fine for a CHL game, he will switch positions & make a nuisance in this type of game, Hope Lewa can play 1 half atleast.
